A power failure is always bad for PCs and server systems. Even short failures in the millisecond range are enough to switch off electronic devices abruptly. As a result, ongoing processes are simply aborted and unsaved data is lost. To protect against this, a so-called UPS (abbreviation for uninterruptible power supply) is often used. These emergency power generators can supply devices with battery power in the event of a power failure. However, they are usually quite expensive, large and unwieldy.<\/p>\n
An alternative to the UPS are PCs with a built-in battery, such as those in the spo-comm MOVE<\/a> and RUGGED<\/a> series. With this optional addition, your Mini PC is supplied with power for up to 10 minutes in the event of a power failure. So there is enough time to bridge the outage or to back up running applications and close them cleanly. To make things even easier, you can configure the BIOS to automatically complete all save operations and then shut down the industrial PC properly.<\/p>\n This is also interesting for use in vehicles for which the MOVE series was originally designed. If the vehicle PC is equipped with a battery, a sudden switch-off or stalling of the engine has no negative consequences for the ongoing computing processes.<\/p>\n
